Genesis 34
1 Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.
Entonces Dina, la hija que Lea dio a luz a Jacob, salió a ver a las hijas de aquella tierra.
2 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was the chief of that land, saw her, he took her by force and had connection with her.
Siquem, hijo de Hamor, el heveo príncipe de aquella tierra, la miró y la tomó. Se unió a ella y la deshonró.
3 Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.
Pero su alma se apegó a Dina, hija de Jacob. Se enamoró de la muchacha y habló amorosamente a la joven.
4 And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.
Siquem habló a su padre Hamor: Tómame a esta jovencita para que sea mi esposa.
5 Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.
Jacob oyó que Siquem contaminó a su hija Dina. Pero como sus hijos estaban con su ganado en el campo, Jacob guardó silencio hasta cuando ellos llegaran.
6 Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.
Entonces Hamor, padre de Siquem, salió para hablar con Jacob.
7 Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.
Cuando los hijos de Jacob regresaron del campo y lo supieron, aquellos varones se airaron. Se enardecieron muchísimo, porque Siquem hizo una vileza en Israel con la hija de Jacob, lo cual no se debía hacer.
8 But Hamor said to them, Shechem, my son, is full of desire for your daughter: will you then give her to him for a wife?
Pero Hamor habló con ellos y les dijo: El alma de mi hijo Siquem se apegó a la hija de ustedes. Les ruego que se la den para que sea su esposa.
9 And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
Emparenten con nosotros. Dennos sus hijas y tomen nuestras hijas para ustedes.
10 Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.
Vivan con nosotros. La tierra está delante de ustedes. Vivan y negocien y adquieran posesión en ella.
11 And Shechem said to her father and her brothers, If you will give ear to my request, whatever you say I will give to you.
Y Siquem dijo al padre de ella y a sus hermanos: Halle yo gracia ante ustedes, y daré lo que me digan.
12 However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.
Aumenten mucha dote y regalos a mi cargo, que yo daré cuanto me digan, pero denme la muchacha para que sea mi esposa.
13 But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.
Los hijos de Jacob respondieron con doblez a Siquem y a Hamor su padre, porque Siquem violó a su hermana Dina.
14 And they said, It is not possible for us to give our sister to one who is without circumcision, for that would be a cause of shame to us:
Les dijeron: No podemos hacer esto de dar nuestra hermana a un hombre que tenga prepucio, porque es afrenta para nosotros.
15 But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;
Solo con esto los consentiremos: que sean como nosotros, al circuncidar todo varón de ustedes.
16 Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.
Entonces les daremos nuestras hijas y tomaremos las de ustedes. Viviremos con ustedes y seremos un pueblo.
17 But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.
Pero si no aceptan circuncidarse, entonces tomaremos nuestra hija y nos iremos.
18 And their words were pleasing to Hamor and his son Shechem.
Las palabras de ellos parecieron buenas a Hamor y a Siquem, hijo de Hamor.
19 And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.
No demoró el joven en hacerlo, porque se deleitaba con la hija de Jacob. Él era el más distinguido de toda la casa de su padre.
20 Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,
Hamor y su hijo Siquem fueron a la puerta de su ciudad y hablaron a los hombres de su ciudad:
21 It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.
Estos hombres son pacíficos con nosotros. Vivirán en la tierra y negociarán en ella. Pues miren, la tierra es bastante amplia para ellos. Tomaremos sus hijas para que sean nuestras esposas, y les daremos nuestras hijas.
22 But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.
Pero solo con esto consentirán en vivir con nosotros para ser un pueblo: que todo varón nuestro sea circuncidado, así como ellos son circuncidados.
23 Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.
¿Entonces no serán nuestros su ganado, sus bienes y todos sus animales? Solo convengamos con ellos, y vivirán con nosotros.
24 Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.
Todos los que salían por la puerta de su ciudad obedecieron a Hamor y a su hijo Siquem, y circuncidaron a todo varón que salía por la puerta de su ciudad.
25 But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.
Aconteció al tercer día, cuando ellos estaban más adoloridos, que dos de los hijos de Jacob, Simeón y Leví, hermanos de Dina, después de tomar cada uno su espada, salieron contra la ciudad desprevenida y asesinaron a todos los varones.
26 And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.
Asesinaron a filo de espada a Hamor y a su hijo Siquem, sacaron a Dina de la casa de Siquem y salieron.
27 And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;
Los hijos de Jacob pasaron sobre los muertos y saquearon la ciudad, por cuanto violaron a su hermana.
28 They took their flocks and their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,
Tomaron sus ovejas, su ganado vacuno y sus asnos, lo que estaba en la ciudad, lo que estaba en el campo
29 And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.
y toda su hacienda. Se llevaron cautivas a todas sus criaturas y sus mujeres, y saquearon todo lo que había en las casas.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.
Entonces Jacob dijo a Simeón y a Leví: Ustedes me arruinaron al hacer que yo sea odioso ante los habitantes de esta tierra, el cananeo y el ferezeo. Por cuanto tengo pocos hombres, se juntarán contra mí y me atacarán. Yo y mi casa seremos exterminados.
31 But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?
Pero dijeron ellos: ¿Debía él tratar a nuestra hermana como a una prostituta?
